Careers
Help us build serious tech
We build complex digital solutions for clients who want the best: microfluidics research platforms, multi-country e-commerce, custom integrations, and the occasional thing nobody has built before.

Serious tech, built by people who take the craft seriously
This page exists so you can decide whether El Niño is the right next step. We're not looking for everyone, we're looking for experienced people who want real ownership, interesting problems, and colleagues who push them to be better. If that's you, read on.
Our work
What you'll actually work on
Our projects aren't templated websites. You'll typically work on two or three at once, own significant parts of them end to end and talk directly to clients, with no layers of account managers between you and the problem. A small sample:

Our culture
We’ve worked hard to build the culture we have today: a mix of nationalities, backgrounds, and interests, all united by one passion: building cool stuff.
During interviews we assess your hard skills, of course, but your soft skills matter just as much (sometimes more). We look at how you think, what your priorities are, and where you want to be a few years from now. We always ask what you want to learn, you better have a good answer to this!
El Niño is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. Our workforce spans 20 nationalities, we work in English to include everyone, and we actively support gender diversity as the sole sponsor of Women in Tech Twente. We evaluate candidates on skills and potential: not on background, gender, age, nationality, or identity.
Who we look for
What we're looking for
Experience and judgment
You've been doing this long enough to know when to ship fast and when to slow down. You've owned systems in production, made architectural calls you had to live with, and learned from the ones that didn't go to plan.
Ownership, end to end
Our projects run from first client conversation to years of iteration after launch. We expect people to own their work until the end. Not just write the code, but think about what's worth building, talk to the client, and care about the support and maintenance afterwards.
Direct communication
We work across offices, home, and timezones. Clear written communication isn't optional here. We want you to tell us when something is wrong — with a project, a client, a teammate, or how we're running the company.
Range
You'll often work across multiple projects and domains in the same week. People who get bored with one thing forever tend to thrive here.
A genuine interest in the craft
Not "passion" in the LinkedIn sense. We mean people who notice when something is well-built and care about the difference.
How we work together
We're flat. Decisions get made by the people closest to the problem, with input from anyone who can help. We work in self-managing teams, everybody has an equal say. Senior people are expected to mentor, to set technical direction, and to make the hard calls. They're not expected to perform authority for its own sake.
We dress and speak informally. Plain language, honest feedback, no corporate theater. If you've got something to say, say it.
“Our work domain is expanding fast, and the challenges keep getting bigger. To keep surprising our customers, we need some of the brightest minds out there.”
